This morning, at ten o'clock, the Election for this County commenced at Brentford, at which hour the High Sheriffs, with their usual attend ants, took their seats, and the writ for the Elec tion having been read, and the usual forms gone through, Mr. WHITBREAD, son of the late SA• MUEL WHITBREAD, Esq. came forward, and, after a short speech, proposed GEORGE BYNG, Esq one of the late Members, as a fit and proper person to represent the County in Parliament. This was seconded by Mr.STABLEs. Colonel WooD then came forward amid loud clamour, and proposed Wm. MELLESII, Esq. the other late Member, and was seconded by Mr. IRVINE in a speed) of some length. Mr. CLARKE briefly addressed the Free holders, stating his reasons for not becoming a Candidate. No other persons appearing, the Sheriffs declared the election to have fallen upon GEORGE BYNG and Wm. Met.r.tstr, Esqs. who severally addressed the Freeholders. • We insert another speech of Mr. CANNING, re ceived this day, which is nut only marked by the same genuine humour us heretofore, but by a stamp of polished gallantry, which shaVvs how consistent the character of the true Gentleman is with that of the sound Politician. We doubt not that his appeal to the Ladies will increase his suc cess, and that BEAUTY AS WEB RS PATRIOTISM will attend his triumph. Our Port Letters this day contain nothing of interest. We have inserted this day, in our 15st page, a letter from the fellow who had a narrow escape from the gallows, whom we should consider as too contemptible for notice, it the letter did not spew that it was the intention of himself and his gang annually to insult with impudent Petitions the Someign of the country. It was yesterday decided by the High Bailiff, that the inhabitants of St. Martin's-le-Grand (though by the Post-Oce Act that place was at tached to one of the City Wards) continued to have the tight of voting for Westminster. CORN-EXCHANGE, Jutsi326.—Owing to the fine state of the weather we had but little business doing this morning, but th e few sates made in Fine IVheat and Oats were at Monday's prices, and Ordinary seems to have rather a better sale ; in Barley and Malt there is very little doing ; Pease and Beans coutinue at our last quoted price. POETRY. TENTH EPISTLE to the EDINBURGH REVIEWERS. [SRCOND PART.] Est turba, arguraentum pessinst, By visit, speech, parody, pamphlet, redeye, Such in part are the plans which the factious pursue, To let eak down of social restraints every bar, And make mere discontented with things as they are: But how they would have them, they donut well know ; In this they all differ, for some would lay low Each practice and fern of reroute Institution, And modernize all by complete revolution : Forgetting French horrors and scenes full of dread, Which - tell them, when rivers of blood base been shed, A despot will fix ore the people his chain, And tithe all their struggles for liberty vain. Whilst some would avert, if they could, such a storm, And change in a peaceable way by reform. But when, how they would do it, we come to enquire,' We find they all (Infer like water and fire. Some for Annual Parliaments clatnaor aloud, And that votes without stint should to all be ellow'd They don't women and children exclude from their plan. lint suppose that they limit the voting Still mark what great evils from this would ensue, The vice, folly, confusion, which now we may view, World return every year, and encreased by the votes, Which for drink and for cruise woald but furnish more throats. If each voter must skew at the hustings his face, What a waste of time, money, and labour takes place; And if ire each parish is open 'd a book, To register names—there will not be a nook Throughout Britain, from centre each way to the sea, Which will he from confusion and drunkenness free. Like each borough town—they each village will split Into factions and parties when issues the writ.; And if annual elections are every where held, This hid spirit of party will never be yfiell'd; But throughout all the year, and throughout all the land, Oppos'd Tory and Whig in each village will stand. Think not of corruption you thus gain a cure, Or iii any way make, your electionmore,pare ; Fur some Husr and some Conn Err will each have his gang, Round whom like bees swarming their clusters will hang. And they, for this act, all the patriot set, • Will sell tlvir vile mob-fry tor what they can get. The Parliament, too, would so soon see its end, They would not have time to make Laws oramenal, And should they do aught, why the next 'night undo All it did—w hien a third one again might renew. And thus on from one to another they'd run, Undoing and doing till nothing was done. The ev,ls hence flowing i further might trace, But let us now see the tree state of the case. We lite in a land which abounds with enjoyment ; Where Arts and whore Commerce for all filed employment; Where the liner tnay,'as well as the rich. from the laws The full justice obtain that belongs to their cause; By a Parliament rtil'o, so cemented together, As support one part serves, and as check to the other— At the head is a King, who need cause no alarm, For he may do much good, though he can't do much harm, As he is by the Lords and the Commons controurd; Who have on each other again a firm hold, Sot cierit the evil tee check in approach, If either should strive beyond hounds tee encroach. You, will tell us the hounds have haw cross'd ; That the scales are not true—that the balance is lost; That as men will to that which has patronage cling, Lords and Commons bow down at the foot of the King; I deny not that pationage acts in each station, But of Commons and Lords suet& submissive prostration I deny it in toto, on this full authority, That Ministers could not command a majority, On a point to obtain Mild) they did all they could, As they thought- it invole'd in their cortutry's true good: Many with them so tt , onght—yet they lost it, 'tis known— Theo what apprehensions have we from the throne 2 Much more that rebellion shoold cast that. theone clown, Than that we should see front it an .autocrat frown— All this you well kiml—yet with traitorous aim, You pour your false reasoning, your charges, and blame, In the hope to bring Ministers into disgrace, And put All the Talents once more into place. Then what is now darkness would all become light ; King. Lords, Commons, Parliament, all would be right ; In gratitude, then, for the gift of a gown, You would swear the restraints were too great on the Crown, When Judge— again on the bench should he plac'd, With all his great namesake's zreat altriuntes grised. TIIE THEATRES. COVENT-GARDEN. -- The Siege of Belgrade was re• presented here last night, and BRAHAM, who per formed The Seraskier, took leave of the public for the present season. He -detetmined to leave a good impression by the number of songs which he gave, and by excellence of his manner. He retired amid the loudest and most gratifying ap plause of a numerwis audience. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.—We were prevented yesterday, by a press of other matter, from no ticing the performances at this Theatre on the pre ceding night. The Beggar's Opera, condensed into two acts, and consequently relieved of notch offensive vulgarity, was the first repre sentation. Mrs. 1-I..K6MBLE, whose name, ne see, is now announced in the play-bills, appeared in the part of • Polly. She was less diffident, and therefore in singing and acting appeared to more advantage, and tolls confirmed the favourable impression which she had previously made. Her action too was less redundant, arid- seemed to be entirely ;he result of feeling. She gave all her songs with expression, and was so successful in " Cease your funning," that it was universally encored. Miss KEI;LY'S Lucy Was throughout 'admirably characteristic. HARLEY had rather too much of the slang character in Filch, particularly in the song. ~The Opera on the whOle was well supported.—Mrs: H. KEMBLE appeared again last night as Rosetta, and is likely to become one of the chief vocr'l favourites of the public. THE QUEEN.—The account of the state of her Majs!y tro►n the Physicians yesterday , was , — The QUEEN has had a very good night, and is much better to-day." On Wei!nesday her Ma jesty received visits from the Countess of CAR.: DIGAN and Lady BANKs. Yesterday morning, , at eleven o'clock, the Duchess. of GLOUCESTER left town to attend her Royal Mother, and remained with her during the day. In the evening she re turned to Gloucester House. Thursday morning Prince LEOPoLD left Clare mont and proceeded to Woolwich, where his Royal Highness inspected the Arsenal, the whole of the Artillery, and the different Government Establishments. , His Royal Highness afterwards dined with General Mact,Koo and a select party. Jo the evening his Royal Highness left Woolwich for London. Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, his Royal Highness went out in his car riage, attended by Colonel ADDENBRoKE, and proceeded to lIARDENBERG's, the sculptor's, in Mount -street, to view the bust of his Royal High ness, which is executing in marble as a compa nion to that of dictate Princess CHARLOTTE, put up lately in the Gothic Temple, in the pleasure grounds in Claremont Park, which is now to be converted into a Mausoleum to her revered me mory. His Royal Highness proceeded to Carlton Elonse, to pay his respects to the PRINCE Re- GENT, and afterwards walked through Waterloo place, to view the new buildings and improve ments. His Royal Highness dined in town, and afterwards returned to ClAretuont. SECOND zDITION. CLOSE OF THE 1)0LL THIS DAY. WEST LAITER. ROMILLY 16 2 5 BUEDETT.. MAXWELL .

[RECEIVED TOIS MORNING .3 The following Speech wias delivered from the house of Jung BOLTON, Esq. by the Riglit ;ion. GEORGH CANNING, at the Close of the FIFTH DAY'S POLL I GENTLEMEN,—Two thousand two hundred and forty free men have now pulled. Of these, 1290 have honoured me with their suffrages. The majority with which I staad over Lord Sefton is as 1290 to 979; a majority of 311. Gentlemen, undoubtedly this is a ur)st satisfactory, and, with a view to the co:iclusion of the contest, a most decisive majority. But, in the spirit of truth in which I have always addressed you, I must not omit to call your observation to the circumstance, that, upon the poll of this day, there is a diminution of my majority by 11. This is uo very consider able loss, indeed ; it is one which we can afford, and it is one which we can repair; but it is fit th At it shOuld be dis• tioctly stated.—(Applause.) Gentlemen, I have been considering with myself to what cause this small, partial, and temporary retrogradation is to be ascribed. Not, certainly, to any want of zeal on the part of my friends : because this day has brought to the pull a greater number of voters than ever attended at any poi in Liverpool. But, I think, Gentlemen, I have discovered the cause in myself,—and in my own misconduct From the moment ,of my arrival among you, I have been guilty of a great omission. It too often happens, that those who have received great benefits are, so Ling as they continue in the uninterrupted enjoyment of thfro, unmindful of the hands from which they were received. I state this infirmity of our nature, not as a sufficient apology, but as the best that I can offer, for having, during the course of this election, omitted to ascribe clue influence to the female part of your comma nity.—(Applause and laughter.) Gentlemen, 3 am this day punished, and justly, for that omission ; but (like our majority), I trust, it may yet be re trieved. You will he my witnesses, that, on former occasions, • I was not remiss in tracing to its true source the unexampled success that attended my first election. You who knoW how mach I owed to the good wishes of the female part of the in habitants of Liverpool, know also how gratefully and gladly I acknowledged the obligation : and if I have 'hitherto neglected to renew those acknowledgements, the minority on the poll of this day, small as it is, would be a sufficient hint to remind me of my fault; and the'glory' of this day in the exhibition of beauty which it has brought faith to witness m y' return home, would be a sufficient inducement to me to wake haste to confess and to repair it.—(Applause.) But, Gentlemen, however remiss I have been here, I have not been forgetful, elsewhere, of the claims of the female world to due Orticipation in matters of election. Of the plans of Parliamentary Reform on which, in my place in Par liament, I have bad occasion to comment, I hare commented on none with snore indignation and rebuke than on that which, admitting the whole population to a vote, pre sumptuously excluded women from a right of suffrage, falsely denominated universal.—(Much laughter.)--I do not mean to say, fur I will not flatter even the fair part of my auditors, at the expence of truth, (at least before so large an assembly as this ;)—I do not mean to say, that even the association of the softer sex in the new system of elective franchise would entirely reconcile me to an extension of it, which, I think, would be full of mischief. But these is one pledge which am quite ready to give, and which, I trust, they will think satisfactory; that I never will consent to any plan of universal suffrage in which they are not included, (Applause and laughter.) Gentlemen, having now frankly confessed my crime, and offered the best 'atom ment in my power, I will not profane the day by mixing any other topic in my address to you; nor by addressinglo you, Gentlemen, the least worthy halt of my auditory, any thing in which the female part of it are net immediately concerned. I will not even exhort you to perse vere in your exertions iu my favour, without ad.ling, that. though the day is not yet arrived on which Lad.es are allowed to come forward in their own per suns to the bar, you arej . nevertheless, to take them into your Councils, and to rely upon their advice and upon their influence in the conduct and fur the success of the Election,,—(Applause
